    Pryor by hard-fought decision.

    I agree with those who consider him overrated historically, but I rank him pretty highly H2H at 140.

    Again we see the dibilitating horror that is found in advanced sufferers of MBID (Mayweather Ball Inhalation Disease):

    Delusions can spread that we now somehow equate Hatton's pressure with Aaron Pryor's deep amatuer backed boxing skills, including beating Thomas Hearns.

    Even after having fought and KO'd Alexis Arguello, twice, at LEAST of the same calibre and routinley named among the best 126-130 pound fighters in history, that "Floyd fighting Pryor would be the same as Floyd fighting Hatton minus the knockdowns".

    Please donate now so that the urgent medical research can be supplied for those in need.

    Is Jose Luis Castillo as tough or as high output as Pryor? Or even close to as fast of foot, hand or powerful?

    If JLC can press PBF at 135, at 140 - To say it would be the Hatton fight can only be put down to MBID.

    Sorry, we are talking a healthy Floyd of the 2nd fight. Not a hurt Floyd of the 1st.

    We're talking Aaron Pryor, not Ricky Freakin Hatton!

    It's a fantasy fight. I can imagine Pryor sending Griffins down from the ceiling to eat Roger during the first round to break Floyd's rythm and use killer bees to blind him while he throws shots.

    It's about as accurate as your statement about Hatton.

    You DO understand that Pryor cheated in the first fight and ruined a truly great fighter, don't you? And I'm sure you know that Arguello wasn't really a 140 lb fighter yes? You DO understand that this is pretty much the only great fighter on his resume right? Funny how he's all tired and all of a sudden he comes out for the 14th round like a man possessed to swarm all over Arguello.

    imho, Pryor should have been disgraced and had his license suspended after the first Arguello fight. It's a damn crime the commission just let Pryor skip the drug test after the fight, and that shold have been investigated. Panama Lewis went on to prison shortly after that for pulling the stuffing out of a glove and blinding Billy Collins. Just trash that has no business in the sport. Screw Aaron Pryor.

    I do understand all of that.

    I also have eyes and can see for example, in the several fights of Pryor's BEFORE the Arguello fight that comparing Pryor to Hatton is ridiculous.

    Which is my point.

    Floyd would find Pryor almost impossible to hurt or discourage. Aaron would simply keep coming and putting the pressure on at a frenetic pace. Over 15 rounds Pryor stops Floyd in the 13-14 rounds.

    What really made me laugh was trying to imagine some $hit like that happening. Roger would start cursing that mutha ****@ out. PBF would hide behind Ellebre. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Floyd doesn't have a style that requires him to have tremendous power.

    As for suggesting Floyd could win a decision, I don't see how that is any worse than suggesting this would be an easy night for Pryor.

    I've never understood in fantasy match-ups why people try to suggest that a fight going 15 rounds rather than 12 is better for Floyd's opponent than for Floyd himself. Floyd always closes well over the Championship rounds, and this would just give him more rounds while his opponent is more tired than he is....
